Ms Bernie McNally:

It would depend on the age of the children and the circumstances. If Tusla is happy to sponsor a child based on particular needs, it can get full coverage. I need to look at that further to see exactly what children are being referred to. It is not necessarily all children in care who would benefit from this or seek it in the first place. However, there is certainly an allowance, as there is at the moment, for Tusla to indicate that some children should get full coverage.
